Passport checks and visa collection for new International students
Students with overseas fee status or need immigration permission to study in the UK must attend a passport check session.
Passport check appointments will take place at various times in September and October. Students do not need to book an appointment, and can just turn up during these times:
From Sunday 22 September to Friday 27 September, please see times on our passport checks and visa collection page.
After Friday 27 September 2024, passport checks and visa collection will take place in Wessex House 8.16 between 10:00 and 16:00 from Monday to Friday
For more information, see passport checks and visa collection for new international students.
Admissions teams may also contact students separately to ask that they show them their original qualifications or final transcripts, even if they have already provided copies.
